Lookman's gone to RB Leipzig. £22.5m. Feel like that is a move we're going to regret. Didn't get anywhere near the chances he deserved last season and should be starting ahead of Walcott at RW. He's got so much potential, is so talented and already very good on the ball. Maybe needs slightly better end-product, but we should have tried harder to keep him.

I haven't seen enough of him but it was clearly coming to a point where we either play him or sell him. I think Walcott looked a busted flush last year and Lookman would be the obvious replacement but Silva clearly doesn't think enough of him. Considering we aren't playing him the fee is a good one. Hopefully we have a buy back clause or get a % of the sell on if he does take off. Ideally we would have loaned him out until Christmas to a Championship club where he would have played every week and we could really see what he could do.

If this actually happens then I will be very happy. It looks great. Long way to go though, no blue will be holding their breath over this.
Always issues when new stadium plans are announced and no doubt they'll be all sort of objections and reviews. I was merely commenting on the basis of the plans released and think it looks a great design unlike a lot of grounds these days that all look very similar

The whole new stadium thing has been going on for years. We have had many false dawns, proposals, designs. This looks like it could be for real but even so ........................

I agree about the design. In the lead up to this they put a lot of research into grounds with atmosphere, grounds where the fans feel part of it still. They didn't want to just buy an off the shelf, generic stadium. This will also be a striking centrepiece for the whole regeneration project.

The land they’re building on is owned by Peel Holdings, there’ll be no objections regards to build as it’s on derelict ground and the local council have already ear marked £20m to regenerate the area with new roads bus lanes etc. The council have started working on that area upgrading roads etc.

The only issue I see is Everton not getting the funding that’s needed to pay for the build. As much as I dislike them, I hope all goes well and they get their brand new stadium, it would be great to see it half empty every week 😉

Thanks for filling in the gaps. Any idea where the funding is suppose to be coming from
